Confession time...'fess up.

The NASA 'Opportunity' rover. Anything that can enter an atmosphere then move on wheels is pure awesome. Should make a good restorer by 2050-2070. Only thing will be freight cost back to Earth!

I'd like to one day own a bright pink car.

Modern TVR's really appeal to me for some reason, espicially the Sagaris.

I also love 90's GM pony cars, espicially LS1 powered Pontiacs

Apart from being an MG enthusiast (I currently own a 1972 MGB, and have fully restored a 1951 MG TD from the ground up to win outright state and national concourses), I have a very soft spot for the Valiant R and S Series. I owned a Valiant S Series in the mid '70's but not knowing proper body and engine restoration techniques back then with the rust etc, I sold it after a couple of years.

I love driving the misses k12 micra. Fun to chuck around, makes you think as there's no power so have to judge things like hills and feels so much smoother to drive then the gravelly diesel mondeo. Most importantly though you can't help but smile when you drive it. It genuinely makes you smile when you drive it.

Always like these old beasts -

I think brown makes a car appear more distinguished!

What cars and motoring related stuff do you like...but not generally let people know you like or desire?

I'll start it off:
* i really, really like the Toyota V6 engine in the Aurion. it's an awesome engine...smooth, quiet, full alloy construction, economical, 200kw and plenty of shove. The only drawback is that it's only fitted in a front drive configuration in the Aurion. That's not because FWD is the work of the devil, it's because it severely limits or excludes the possibilities to fit it to other old cars.
* The 120Y...coupe. I really like them. I saw one a while back with fat steels, lowered a bit, fitted with a two liter Bluebird SOHC engine and five speed manual that had a turbo strapped on it and an intercooler slung low in the front. It wasn't painted properly, only patchily primered, but it had massive potential.
* Rotaries...I love them...despite the drawbacks and mechanical limitations, i think they're an amazing motor. I could think of no better eye-opener at a car show than a little old light weight Escort coupe fitted with a worked to buggery 13b in it...ah what the hell...hang the expense and stick in a three rotor 20B...


So come on...the confessional doors are shut...it's between you, me, and the hundreds of other people on this forum...

You are not the only one that appreciates the 2GR-FE as found in Aurion.
That engine powers Lotus Evora in both NA and supercharged versions and RWD configuration.
Engine is also used in Lexus RX series and direct injection version is in IS350.

I think the current model 6 speed manual 1.6 GDI Kia Rio is a great little car

I like the looks of the AU LTD

I want a 79 series Troopy.

I wouldn't mind a VK group A, don't really know why but hey, shame about the driveline tho,
at least it's obviously influenced design wise by the Mad Max Falcon (well, it looks like it anyway)

I have a soft spot for the old Mini Moke! Low to the ground, no doors, extreme simplicity. Folks used to take us to Magnetic Is and hire one as kid....great memories!

[chopstar87]

I would like a 2012 Abarth 695 tributo Ferrari.. Just too Much $$$ for such a small car.. but a little unique and a "fun" little car..

I get weird looks though when i say i like them (been 197cms tall and 130kgs Footballer)

I've gotta agree with you chopstar. Something about the Fiat 500 I've always liked. It's got character. Being almost 2m tall like you, I'd never be seen in one, even though they are surprisingly roomy in the front seat...

If not you win.

It must be something about the unobtainable that draws tall people to small cars.

Renault Megane RS. Not a car for everyday driving but there is not a day that goes by where i wouldnt want to drive one.
